A 12-year-old can technically order Prime drinks if they have a payment method, but it's strongly discouraged by health experts due to the high caffeine in Prime Energy, with some schools even banning them; Prime Hydration (no caffeine) is a better choice, but water is always best, and minors should avoid energy drinks.
Prime is not recommended for kids under 15.

⚖️ Bottom line – if you're simply avoiding added sugar and artificial colors – PRIME is the better option, however we would not consider it to be “healthy” or even “healthier” than other sports drinks on the market and WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR ADULTS OR CHILDREN.

On Prime's official website it states; "PRIME Energy is not recommended for children under the age of 18, women who are pregnant or nursing, or individuals who are sensitive to caffeine."
All of a child's hydration needs can be met by drinking water. Unsweetened (plain) pasteurized milk is also recommended for kids ages 5-18. If a child drinks milk, they can drink less water to meet their hydration needs. 100% juice is not needed in the diet, although it can be part of a healthy diet.
If your child has consumed an energy drink, it is important to seek immediate medical advice.

If you are healthy and need a quick surge of energy, it is okay to consume an occasional energy drink — no more than one a day — but this shouldn't be a daily or long-term practice.
Prime drinks contain sucralose, an artificial sweetener, rather than table sugar or high fructose corn syrup. But artificial sweeteners (sometimes called non-nutritive sweeteners, or NNS) may not be a safe alternative, especially for kids.
There's no single "number 1" healthiest energy drink, as it depends on your needs, but top contenders for healthier options use natural caffeine (green tea, coffee bean), minimal sugar/sweeteners (like stevia), and added benefits (electrolytes, adaptogens), with ZOA, Zevia, Nooma, Celsius, and Mati frequently cited for being cleaner alternatives to traditional drinks by avoiding artificial ingredients and offering functional nutrients.
Prime Energy is naturally flavored with 200mg caffeine per can, zero sugar, 300mg electrolytes and vegan.
